2 Corinthians 3
2 Corinthians 3:2–4
Elder Bruce R. McConkie said: “In the ultimate sense, the gospel is not written on tablets of stone or in books of scripture, but in the bodies of faithful and obedient persons; the saints are, thus, living epistles of the truth, the books of whose lives are open for all to read” (Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 2:414).
2 Corinthians 3:6
President James E. Faust, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, taught: “Paul said, ‘The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.’ We are not only to avoid evil, not only to do good but, most important, to do the things of greatest worth. We are to focus on the inward things of the heart, which we know and value intuitively but often neglect for that which is trivial, superficial, or prideful” (Ensign, Nov. 1997, 53).
President Ezra Taft Benson:
“The Spirit is the most important matter in this glorious work” (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, 198).
